HB1002 Enrolled LRB096 03066 RLJ 13081 b
AN ACT concerning finance.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The State Finance Act is amended by changing
Section 8h as follows:
(30 ILCS 105/8h)
Sec. 8h. Transfers to General Revenue Fund.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section and
Section 8n of this Act, and notwithstanding any other State law
to the contrary, the Governor may, through June 30, 2007, from
time to time direct the State Treasurer and Comptroller to
transfer a specified sum from any fund held by the State
Treasurer to the General Revenue Fund in order to help defray
the State's operating costs for the fiscal year. The total
transfer under this Section from any fund in any fiscal year
shall not exceed the lesser of (i) 8% of the revenues to be
deposited into the fund during that fiscal year or (ii) an
amount that leaves a remaining fund balance of 25% of the July
1 fund balance of that fiscal year. In fiscal year 2005 only,
prior to calculating the July 1, 2004 final balances, the
Governor may calculate and direct the State Treasurer with the
Comptroller to transfer additional amounts determined by
applying the formula authorized in Public Act 93-839 to the

HB1002 Enrolled - 2 - LRB096 03066 RLJ 13081 b
funds balances on July 1, 2003. No transfer may be made from a
fund under this Section that would have the effect of reducing
the available balance in the fund to an amount less than the
amount remaining unexpended and unreserved from the total
appropriation from that fund estimated to be expended for that
fiscal year. This Section does not apply to any funds that are
restricted by federal law to a specific use, to any funds in
the Motor Fuel Tax Fund, the Intercity Passenger Rail Fund, the
Hospital Provider Fund, the Medicaid Provider Relief Fund, the
Teacher Health Insurance Security Fund, the Reviewing Court

the Foreign Language Interpreter Fund, the Lawyers' Assistance
Program Fund, the Supreme Court Federal Projects Fund, the
Supreme Court Special State Projects Fund, the Supplemental
Low-Income Energy Assistance Fund, the Good Samaritan Energy
Trust Fund, the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Facility
Development and Operation Fund, the Horse Racing Equity Trust
Fund, the Metabolic Screening and Treatment Fund, or the
Hospital Basic Services Preservation Fund, or to any funds to
which Section 70-50 of the Nurse Practice Act applies. No
transfers may be made under this Section from the Pet
Population Control Fund. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Section, for fiscal year 2004, the total transfer under
this Section from the Road Fund or the State Construction
Account Fund shall not exceed the lesser of (i) 5% of the
revenues to be deposited into the fund during that fiscal year

HB1002 Enrolled - 3 - LRB096 03066 RLJ 13081 b
or (ii) 25% of the beginning balance in the fund. For fiscal
year 2005 through fiscal year 2007, no amounts may be
transferred under this Section from the Road Fund, the State
Construction Account Fund, the Criminal Justice Information
Systems Trust Fund, the Wireless Service Emergency Fund, or the
Mandatory Arbitration Fund.
In determining the available balance in a fund, the
Governor may include receipts, transfers into the fund, and
other resources anticipated to be available in the fund in that
fiscal year.
The State Treasurer and Comptroller shall transfer the
amounts designated under this Section as soon as may be
practicable after receiving the direction to transfer from the
Governor.
(a-5) Transfers directed to be made under this Section on
or before February 28, 2006 that are still pending on May 19,
2006 (the effective date of Public Act 94-774) shall be
redirected as provided in Section 8n of this Act.
(b) This Section does not apply to: (i) the Ticket For The
Cure Fund; (ii) any fund established under the Community Senior
Services and Resources Act; or (iii) on or after January 1,
2006 (the effective date of Public Act 94-511), the Child Labor
and Day and Temporary Labor Enforcement Fund.
(c) This Section does not apply to the Demutualization
Trust Fund established under the Uniform Disposition of
Unclaimed Property Act.
